Pit Boss 4-Burner Ultimate Lift-Off Griddle
Pit Boss's answer to the two things people dislike about griddles. First, the cooktop is coated in a non-stick armored ceramic that ships ready to cook and resists rust, so there is no seasoning ritual. Second, the 89 lb top lifts off the cart entirely and becomes a tabletop griddle for a campsite. 647 sq in and 46,000 BTU across four burners.

Pit Boss Sportsman 850
Sportsman is the hunting-and-outdoors trim of the Pit Boss line, and the 850 is its core size — 849 sq in, 21 lb hopper, WiFi and Bluetooth, one probe included. It adds connectivity and a hammertone finish over the FB2 700 below it while keeping the same 180–500°F range and the Flame Broiler lever for direct-flame searing. Against the Navigator 850 at $50 more, the difference is styling and prep space rather than capability.
The largest vertical pellet cabinet Pit Boss sells direct: six adjustable racks totalling 2,015 sq in over a 60 lb hopper, in the Sportsman trim that replaced the Copperhead 5-Series. The cooking mechanism is identical to the Navigator 3-Series — auger-fed burn pot at the base, convection chimney above — but the extra rack and 900 more square inches move it into the range where it competes with a whole-hog cooker on volume alone.

Pit Boss Pro Series 1150
The Pit Boss Pro Series 1150 is a value-focused WiFi pellet grill sold through Lowe's, featuring a sliding Flame Broiler plate for direct-flame searing and a digital PID controller. Pit Boss is owned by Dansons. Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Pit Boss Pro Series V3 1150. (Original Pro Series 1150 replaced by V2 (10576) then V3 (10980/PB1150PS3) at Lowe's; V3 sells ~$699)
Pit Boss is a pellet company that keeps exactly one real gas grill, and this is it: a three-burner portable with a cast aluminum lid and body, 25,000 BTU, and 380 sq in of cast-iron grid — more grate than a Weber Traveler in a unit meant to be carried. Folding side shelves with tool hooks, a built-in lid thermometer, and a battery-free SureFire push-and-turn ignition. The cart shown in Pit Boss's photography is not included.
A vertical pellet cabinet, not a pellet grill with a lid — five racks stacked in an insulated cabinet with an auger-fed burn pot at the base and a chimney above, so heat and smoke rise past every rack in sequence. That is the opposite of a horizontal pellet grill, where a diffuser plate spreads heat sideways. This is Pit Boss's replacement for the Copperhead 3-Series name and carries a 50 lb hopper and WiFi.
Pit Boss's take on the drum smoker: a 24-inch barrel that cooks the Pit Barrel way, with meat hung on rods over a charcoal basket rather than laid on grates, plus three porcelain-coated grates for when you want to cook flat. The triple row of hanging rods takes twelve racks of ribs, which is more than double what a Pit Barrel Classic holds, and it is the largest drum in the mainstream market.
